A:there is no suggestion that Jesus and his family had to flee Nazareth. In fact, Luke's Gospel says that the young family travelled peacefully from Nazareth to Jerusalem and back every year, for the Passover (Luke 2:41).

It is in Matthew's Gospel that the young family had to flee, but this is a different story. We can see from the text that Bethlehem is their home town, and in fact we will see that they had probably never heard of Nazareth. After the birth of Jesus, they fled from Bethlehem to Egypt, for fear of King Herod. After Herod's death, they began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream of further danger there, turned aside and travelled to Galilee where they settled in a city called Nazareth (Matthew 2:23).

Why is nazareth so special?

Jesus is thought to have been brought up as a child in Nazareth. However, Nazareth does not play a role in the mission of Jesus. He found that he could not do wonders there because of the unbelief of those with whom he grew up, only heal a few sick.Mark is the first New Testament gospel to be written, and in the original Greek it always calls Jesus 'the Nazarene', never 'Jesus of Nazareth'. We know that Matthew's Gospel was substantially based on Mark, which is is why Matthew 2:23 says that Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Nazareth "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." Apart from Mark's Gospel, there is no other prophetic reference to Jesus as a Nazarene.

How did Jesus become a Nazarene?

The earliest New Testament gospel to be written was Mark's Gospel, which (in the original Greek language) only refers to Jesus as a Nazarene and never mentions Nazareth as his home town. These references are typically translated into English as 'Jesus of Nazareth', but this does not reflect the original manuscripts. We do not know why Mark refers to Jesus in this way, but it may be that Jesus was associated with the sect known as the Nazarenes.Matthew's Gospel was apparently written in the 80s of the first century, and was substantially based on Mark's Gospel. Its author chose to identify Jesus with Nazareth, so that Matthew 2:23 says, "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." There is no known Old Testament reference to which the author could have been referring and his 'prophets' is more likely to be a reference to Mark's Gospel. In any case, this is an explanation why the young family settled in Nazareth, not why Jesus was called a Nazarene.
